Evan's Surgery

Evan had to go get tubes in both of his ears this morning. He's only had one or two ear infections ever, but the fluid in his ears wouldn't go away. He did excellent. He went back with the Surgeon and Nurse Anesthestitist, and wasn't upset to leave mom and dad. The whole procedure took 5 minutes, hard to believe! He woke up happy and has been fine ever since. He's napping now, after having to be to the hospital by 530 am. It is good to have this behind us. The doctor said there was a lot of junk in his ears, he should be feeling like a new person. He's always so good, I can't imagine that he could be any better!

Kids in Puerto Rico

Evan, learning how to walk, it's about time!

About the pictures below

First off, I apologize about the order of the pictures below, I'm still trying to figure this blog stuff out!

We had a great time on our vacation to Puerto Rico with the kids. We stayed with my brother and his family, wife and 5 boys. Our kids had a blast and played hard every day. All 8 kids were in bed by 8:00 or so each night, and fell asleep right away. We had a great time visiting and playing cards after they all went to bed. We ate way too much junk food, but still think it was worth it, even though the scales may show otherwise. We spent two weeks with the kids, then left the kids with my brother and his wife, and took a cruise.

Our cruise departed from San Juan and was a 7 day, Southern Carribean cruise. It was very relaxing and it was awesome to finally go on a REAL vacation. We had a couple beach days and snorkling for the first time, was my absolute favorite. We really didn't miss the kids until about day six, maybe it was bad to admit that. We knew they were well taken care of and were playing soo much they probably didn't miss us either. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Evan learned how to walk the day before we came back from our cruise and has been a whole new person ever since. He is so entertained with his new skill!

After the cruise, we flew back to Wichita, and 4 days later I flew back to Utah for almost two weeks of work. I'm glad to say that I am finally home for a very long time!!
